UPDATE: Due to a change in circumstances, Emma is back with her family and happier than ever. Thank you to everyone who shared this post to help this adorable girl! -----------------Emma is a sweet and gentle purebred blue nose pit bull who needs a loving home. Little Emma has had it tough. Her first owner was a backyard breeder, who forced her to have tons of litters of puppies way too early. Her second owner loved her and treated her well, but was forced to give her up when they moved to a place where she wasn't allowed. Luckily for Emma, her owners knew an animal lover who wouldn't let her down. My best friend Lauren and her husband Mike took Emma in to avoid her becoming just one more pit bull in a shelter. They are taking care of her until they can find her a good home.

Emma gets along great with their 3 dogs and she's good with kids. She's 3 years old, 45 lbs. and definitely the tiniest little pit bull I've ever seen. I mean, look at those short little legs in the picture to the right! ​So cute! When I met Emma, I couldn't believe how quiet and gentle she was. Even in a strange place with new people, she was on her best behavior during our photo session. Emma is healthy and house-trained, and knows her basic commands. I know she's going to make some family out there so happy. If you're in the Long Island area and you have room in your heart for a sweet thing like Emma, contact Lauren for more information at Lnpetrelli@gmail.com, or share this post with someone you think could give Emma the loving home she deserves!
